“…Patients may benefit from personalized music selections as opposed to preselected music, live music as opposed to recorded music, being an active participant in creating music, or from different forms of music such as instrumentals, vocals, and so on [ 59 , 60 ]. The possibilities of MT and music medicine are vast, not only in their array of uses but also in the patients themselves, who may have differing connections and experiences with music [ 14 ].…”

“…As seen in the initial query, it is evident that the literature on this topic is limited, and even more so when analyzing specific parameters. Knowledge on this topic can be further improved with in-depth analyses on music therapy across each specific form of cancer, different forms of music therapy (i.e., live, recorded, vocal, instrumental, combination), self-preferred versus preselected music, receptive versus active, and so on [ 14 , 59 , 60 ]. This review both reaffirms music therapy to be effective via a variety of measures, and emphasizes the potential for continuing studies to help us better understand the use of music therapy and help tailor treatments to the needs of cancer patients.…”

“…Some nations even offer this form of screening as a full-body scan for every individual over a certain age to obtain a baseline [ 12 , 13 ]. Varying methods of obtaining biopsies are now available as well, allowing for diagnosis of various growths in a relatively noninvasive manner [ 14 ].…”

Aims and Objectives: To consolidate and summarize the current literature surrounding the use of music therapy as an effective noninvasive adjunct to conventional cancer therapy, especially as a low-risk alternative for pain management and anesthetic use in cancer patients. Background: Current studies have proposed that music therapy may be effective as a noninvasive adjunct to conventional cancer therapy in managing numerous outcomes in cancer patients. However, the findings of these investigations have not been consolidated and analyzed on a large scale. Therefore, focusing a systematic review on the effects of music therapy as an adjunct to conventional cancer therapy would give a better understanding of which intervention approaches are associated with better clinical outcomes for cancer patients. Design: A systematic review. Methods: A review of randomized controlled trials to evaluate the effectiveness of music therapy in physical, cognitive, and psychosocial outcomes for cancer patients alone or in conjunction with standard therapy was implemented. We conducted searches using the PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library databases for all articles meeting the search criteria up until the time of article extraction in May, 2022. Only studies published in English were included. Two reviewers independently extracted data on participant and intervention characteristics. The main outcome variables included pain, anxiety, quality of life, mood, sleep disorders, fatigue, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation. Results: Of the 202 initially identified articles, 25 randomized controlled trials met the inclusion criteria for evaluation. Of the 25 studies, 23 (92.0%) reported statistically and clinically significant improvements across the outcome variables. Two of the studies (8.00%) found no significant positive effect from music therapy in any of the aforementioned outcomes variables. Conclusion: Music therapy, both as a standalone treatment and when used in conjunction with other pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic modalities, has a generally beneficial effect across several physiologic and psychosocial aspects of cancer.
